Title: “Echoes of Dusk”
Step into the heart of Africa with Echoes of Dusk, an original oil pastel artwork by Laura Bernardeschi Nelson.
Inspired by the quiet power of elephants roaming the savannah at sunset, this piece captures a fleeting yet eternal moment: silhouettes moving gently along the water’s edge, framed by acacia trees against a sky ablaze with fading light. The deep oranges and violets melt into the mirrored surface below, where every ripple holds a memory of the land — wild, vast, and sacred.
Created using richly pigmented oil pastels and sealed with varnish to preserve its luminosity, this artwork invites the viewer to pause — to listen, feel, and remember what it means to be part of something greater.
